The Christmas Ship.
The Chicago Herald has started
a movement to givo the ehildrer
of Europe some little pleasure at
Christmas time. It says that
the Christmas ship which is tc
hear gifts from the children of
America to the orphan ehildrer
of war-torn Europe offers a hit
opportunity for doing good and a
bigger opportunity for receiving
it. It will bless the little child
who gives as well as the littIt
one who receives.
What an opportunity it will
provide to carry joy to thousands
and thousands of homes that
would otherwise be dark and
cheerless on Christmas nighthomes
whose defender and sustainer
lies dead on some distant
field of battle.
What an opportunity to carry
to all of Europe, in the most
helpful way conceivable, the real
sympathy which Americans,
without distinction, feel for a
continent in the rim clutch oi
war and want.
What an opportunity to raist
amid the discordant clash of wai
a note of pure humanity, sweet
and sane and strong a note tr
which the nations must respond?a
note to awake tlu
better angels of their nature.
What an opportunity to lead
the children of Ami rijta, througl
a work of gentleness and love,
to realize the great joy of giving,
the beauty of self-sacrifice ami
the blessedness of peace.
What an opportunity to enlarge
their sympathies till they
lake in half a world, to implant
lessons of humanity that it:
future days shall stand like
steel against war's crime and
folly.
What an opportunity to impress
on childhood the rea
meaning of the day that Christ
was born, and with it the wholf
gospel of help for the unfortunate,
care for the orphan ant
the widow, and that last, great
est commandment of all "that
we love one another."
The Christmas ship is no idk
fancy, it will bean accomplished
fact. It will he ready in dut
sea?on to carry to the war-swepl
lands and homes of Europe the
offerings which the children ol
America make to the innocent
victims of war's rage and mad
ness.
Think for a moment that army
of orphans more pathetic thai
any beaten, shattered host. A
scattered little army without
defense, hut with an appeal thai
goes straight to the heart. A
pitiful little army on w hich wai
is moving as remorselessly at
, against the armies of the field

Money invested judiciously in
noads adds so much to the value
j of the property in a community
that every dollar invested comes
back to the treasury in the form
I of additional taxation. Good
roads attract new settlers, encourage
improvement and enrich
a community. They bring in
more people to help pay taxes,
and reduce that rate o;' taxation
white increasing the aggregate
amomt collected. Money paid
merely for salaries of officers of
J! a dead and non-progressive
. county urganization never comes
i back in any form. Good roads
(: are the arteries of trade, the
promoters of value and the
basis of prosperity.

There is absolutely not a single 4
advantage in buying from a
